00:00Pope Francis injures his right forearm after a fall in his residence on Thursday, January
00:0616, but did not suffer any broken bones.
00:09Images from the Pope's meetings on Thursday morning show Francis using a simple cloth
00:13sling wrapped around his neck to hold up his right arm.
00:16The Vatican says the sling was a precautionary measure.
00:20The injury is the second in about six weeks for the Pope, who bruised his face in an earlier
00:24fall in December.
00:25The Vatican says he slipped while getting out of bed and hit his chin on his bedside
00:29table at the time.
00:31The pontiff, who has led the 1.4 billion member Catholic Church since 2013, turned 88 in December.
00:37He often uses a cane or a wheelchair to move due to knee and back pain.
